I saw Heavy D about 20 years ago. He was one of the more joyful, rather than angry, rappers. So he and Yaro synchronized in my mind when I saw them both in the browser at the same time. It's not a competition; they can both be liked. And are. By me, anyway.

I've actually seen one of them in real life.

Part of the coolness of Yaro is that he is, no doubt, joyfully unperturbed by a hip hop obit following his post. I can even imagine him downloading a Heavy D song for his iPod playlist with "the Bruno Mars."

What Was This?

College Misery was a dysfunctional group blog where professors got the chance to release some of the frustration that built up while tending to student snowflakes, helicopter parents, money mad Deans, envious colleagues, and churlish chairpeople.

Our parent site, Rate Your Students, started in 2005, and we continued that mission beginning in 2010. Ben at Academic Water Torture and Kimmie at The Apoplectic Mizery Maker both ran support blogs during periods when this blog had died.
